GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track: DIRT      

Genuine pace with Daishin Juno taking up the running ahead of Daimei Tiara and Babel No To. DAISHIN JUNO (8) looks ideally placed to score at her first run in three months. Consistent performer last preparation and should prove hard to beat fresh. HOKUSAI (12) ran well for a 2.5 lengths victory at this circuit and distance last time out. Tricky draw again but rates highly on last run. Expected to go close. R WIZARD (4) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running sixth at this track. Rates strongly on best. May well be worth another chance. HABIL VIENTO (11) gets a winning rider Osamu Shimohara back aboard this time who has scored on him three times. Worth consideration.
